I’d rate this a ‘must watch’ interview.

Got out of the wrong side of bed this morning?

It's not "wokeness", it's a basic level of respect for others on a public forum.

It’s wokeness in my book. What real respect do Raimo and Chuck show for my ideas and posts?

Raimo dismisses a post he must know I rate highly - without even watching it!!! Why not stay quiet? He goes as far as suggesting that “ "No-self" propaganda should always be boycotted.” Like it was child pornography or something! It’s a fucking metaphysical idea, probably not one that McGilchrist even supports ! If someone like McGilchrist is to be boycotted, then GOD help us all! 

Should I beat around the bush and play with words and maybe say ‘can’t you see your behaving rather hypocrically’ to Chuck? Does he not think I’m a bit of a tosser? I would prefer if people were honest!!! Him calling my post ‘disgusting’ was every bit as bad as me calling him a hypocrite imo. 

It’s time for much more honesty, transparency and less ego in our world. 

Got out of the wrong side of bed this morning?

You can fuck off too! Liking a dumb post like Raimo’s! 

Raimo’s posts are rarer than hen’s teeth on the forum, but then one swoops in to diss my video, and I’m meant to respect that? 

Honestly. FUCK THAT!!!

The forum's rule #1 is about respect for posters, and in particular refraining from personal attacks against them; it doesn't require that anybody respects ideas and posts. Raimo objected (strongly) to the idea of "no self", as he always does; he didn't attack you personally. The video was promoted as being about "No Self". If that's not what it was actually about, then Raimo can hardly be faulted for its inaccurate promotion.

If that's not what it was actually about, then Raimo can hardly be faulted for its inaccurate promotion.

Raimo can be faulted!!! That’s my point. To dismiss a 3 hour long video without even giving it the slightest chance is one of the reasons that the world is in the state it’s in! 

Respect my arse!

You're avoiding the point, Steve. Our rule #1 is in large part about avoiding personal attacks. Raimo didn't attack you personally. He objected strongly to an idea to which he always objects (read through his past posts to see that very clearly). In return, you did attack him personally.

In any case, nobody is obliged to watch three hour long videos posted to a forum of which they happen to be a member which on the face of it massively conflict with their fundamental beliefs, especially when the poster of the video makes no compelling case for it, let alone provides a summary of its contents. So no, Raimo is not at fault here.

In return, you did attack him personally.

I strongly disagree.

You're avoiding the point, Steve.

Exactly the same could be said of you.

You’re rules are simply ‘things to make us feel better about ourselves Laird. 

Your post is one of so many examples of ‘wokeness’ that I know is as fake as fuck! 

Are my very thoughts to be policed now! Aaaarrrrgghh. MY THOUGHTS! I didn’t call anyone a tosser! 

And if I think someone’s a hypocrite, I might as well say it, because not doing so is just more WOKENESS fake bullshit!

Didn't you publicly quit this forum?

This is just an attempt to wind me up, and Berkelon would just love to see me banned.

Is this allowed? Is this respectful? Would it be reasonable to reply ‘fuck off you tosser’ to a post like this?
